Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 as a Workstation

[richard.tracy]

So, i have done all of the above, back when Server 2008 was released i made it my OS. Then when Server 2008 R2 was released I did the same. I was satisfied with both OS during their times except for one thing….price. I hated having to rearm it every time over an dover again. then backing it all up, format then reloading, then remarming again. I have even used hacks and cracks (with sucess) to activate the OS’s. I got tired of that too. But NOW i found a new solution…a free solution! A solution I think i might be fun to mess around with, yet a very customizable. Why not use Microsofts free version of Hyper-V 2008 R2 Server Edition? I know what your thinking…its nothing but a hyepr-v server with only Core features….a dos screen. Think about it though. Your own customizable UI’s based on WinPE Desktop solutions.This is what I current;y run. A very fast, lightweight OS, with everything installed that I like to use (firefox, winamp, wmp, n2menu, and much more). This is like having a Linux command window on a MIcrosoft Windows OS.

I’ve decided to “note” the things i’ve done on my forum.
